Universities face court case over use of English
A lobby group that works to boost educational standards in the Netherlands is planning to take the government to court because too many college and university courses are being given in English, reports DutchNews.nl.“They are chucking out Dutch to attract more foreign students,” Ad Verbrugge, chairman of Beter Onderwijs Nederland, told AD newspaper on 26 May.
